Saw a Forest Green today in Greenville.

There must be two then because I'm in Charleston at the moment.

Also: I saw a Limestone with black wheels parked in my neck of the woods last weekend here in Park Circle (North Charleston). Dealer plate still. Anyone on here?

Would love to meet up.

I saw that same one at the Whole Foods in West Ashley while grabbing some electrons today. They had left their doors unlocked so I lingered to try and catch them but never saw the driver. Limestone on 20" Black ATs. Looked like they had just gotten SC tags because they still had the temp tags in the window.

I caught a glimpse of the limestone about a week ago and when I got my wife asked me what was up . Why was I smiling so much? I didn’t even realize it. Damn my poker playing days are over.

I’m in Charleston for the weekend and surprised at the lack of public chargers here. Luckily I can plug in at my in-laws with the mobile 120V charger and have the time to wait, but otherwise I’d be in a rough spot. There are some trickle chargers here and there but otherwise seems like a desert.

I stopped by the EA chargers in North Charleston and two were out of service, one was charging at ~40KW and the other at ~60Kw.

Anyone else make a quick trip down here and find themselves in a bind? I think the closest fast charging is in Walterboro or Columbia.

I had no issues taking our Mach E to Charleston in May but the EA chargers were working correctly. We also scored one of the few L2 chargers in a parking deck the last full day we were there. I would keep an eye on plugshare to see if the EA charger situation improves, or stop by to try it again.

Those EA chargers at Target are terrible. I used them a good bit while I was waiting to get my charger installed and had some very frustrating sessions.

Whole Foods on 17 in West Ashley has free charging but it's 6kw so only good if you can leave it for a while. I did resort one morning to driving over there, leaving it plugged in and then riding my bike to ita few hours later.

My wife told me this morning that there is now a solar powered Rivian charger (I'm assuming a Waypoint Charger) at Charlestown Landing.

Saw your profile picture and was reminded of what I finally received in the mail last week.

NICE! I just got my plates last week and need to go to the DMV to swap them for my vet tags.

Oh, and I'll need to get my truck back too but that's besides the point

I'm almost afraid to ask for more details... I guess it is relevant to this thread, since South Carolina doesn't have a service center. What happened? Or is there a link to an existing post with the details? I did a cursory search and couldn't find anything.

Did anyone in South Carolina receive an estimated delivery date for a preorder yesterday?

We have an R1S configured and received the message that our delivery estimate is pending until they figure out the service center situation. That’s interesting because many of us have taken delivery in South Carolina, so seems like a strategy shift. I’m curious what’s going to happen with our delivery date when they do have a service center. You’d hope they slot us in roughly where we would have been otherwise, but who knows?

I get that the logistics are incredibly complicated so I’m not too surprised or disappointed, but wanted to check with others in SC to see if anyone actually has an estimate.

Mine is pending because they're not making the color combo I wanted. My guide should be able to update it when she gets in on Monday and then hopefully I'll have a real estimate (previously December 2022)
